ADDITIONAL HIGHWAY PROJECTS
BRTA worked with the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) to insure that adequate shoulders were provided on Highway 78/Brewery Hill, from Lazy M Street to Hauser Avenue. The MDT agreed to narrow the lanes to 11 feet in this section in order to provide five- foot shoulders. A wider shoulder stripe further delineates the shoulder. This project was completed in 2015.
BRTA also insured that rumble strips on Highway 78 near Red Lodge consistent with the MDT Rumble Strip Guidance were included and assisted the City of Red Lodge in securing an MDT encroachment permit for the installation of safety signage on the Highway 78 Multi-Use Pathway. Installation of the signage is scheduled for the summer of 2020.
